Invoking jface WizardDialog from Swing Action [message #6745]

Hi,

Good effort on albireo. Quick question. I'm looking through the alpha's
as I type this, but I don't see what I'm looking for.

I want to be able to invoke a jface Dialog from a swing action but am not
having any luck.

The higher level view is that I had a complex swing tree which I've
brought into an Eclipse view via a n EmbeddedSwingComposite. Everything
working fine. however:

1. from a node + context menu, I want to be able to invoke a jface Dialog
w/ eclipse wizard pages. I know I can bring in the swing wizard api via
Tim Bodreau / swingx, however I'd rather not bring in the extra jars if I
don't have to.

Thanks

You should be able to fire up your JFace dialog ( within a
Display.asyncExec runnable) from the Swing action's java code. Does this
not work for you? What's the error you are seeing?

Doh! I should have said from within a java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater
runnable.

It's a bad Monday morning, apparently. I was right the first time. Sorry.
